Question
My child is five and a half years old and often struggles with mispronunciation while learning in kindergarten. We took them to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said there was no problem with the eardrum. However, during the newborn hearing screening, it was found that the left ear did not pass.
Answer
Hearing screening is a non-invasive examination method that is typically conducted 48 hours after a newborn’s birth. If it fails the initial screening, a retest is required within 42 days. If it still fails, a diagnostic examination must be conducted within three months. Children diagnosed with hearing loss should receive timely medical intervention at the hospital.
